San Francisco 49ers fans are taking offense to the Seattle Seahawks prohibiting California residents from buying tickets to the NFC Championship game Jan. 19.

The Seahawks posted on its website that tickets, which went on sale today, would only be sold to fans with billing addresses in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Alaska, Hawaii and Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta.

The reason? To keep tickets in the hands of Seahawks fans.

Only a few thousand were expected to be available

The other option for fans is the secondary market, but the Seattle Times reported the average ticket price to the Seahawks-49ers game is just under $700.

Here's a few reactions:

Seattle is so afraid of the 49ers they won't sell tickets to their fans. I sense weakness. #goniners
